I tried out a growing Reddit alternative, Lemmy, for a week, and its clear that federated apps aren't ready to replace Reddit yet.

Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it’s been an effort.

I am using Mastadon more, hopefully with time we see a similar level of polish. However, even there it don’t see a dent in Twitter.

    There’s been little demand. Give it some time. Enjoy being in in the ground floor, or wait until it’s a little more mature. The more use and demand the more we’re going to see improvements and alternative mobile apps and such.

      I fully expect it’s going to get better. None of the issues mentioned, from a quick skim, are insurmountable except figuring out where to sign up.
